Priests and Paupers than any other people on earth, they at the some time give more for Religious and Philanthropic purposes. Their munificence is not always well guided; but on the whole very much is accomplished by it in the way of diffusing Christianity and diminishing Human Misery. But I will speak more specifically.
The Religious Anniversaries have mainly
been held, but few or none of them are reported indeed, they are scarcelj alluded U in the Daily press, whose vaunted superiority over American journals in the matter of Reporting amounts practically to this that the debates in Parliament are here reported verbatim, and again presented in a condensed form under the Editorial head of each paper, while scarcely anything else (besides Court doings) is reported at all. I am sure this is consistent neith er with reason nor with the public taste that if the Parliamentary debates were condensed one-half'
and the space so saved cevoted to reports of the most iuteresting Public Meetings. Lectures, &.c. after the New-York fashion, the popular
interest in the daily papers would become wider
and deeper, and their usefulness as aids to Gen eral Fducation would be largely increased.
lo a great majority of the reading class, efen
here, political discussions and especially of
questions so trite and unimportant as those
which mainly engross the attention of Parlia
ment are of quite subordinate interest, and I
think less than one reader in four ever peruses
any more ot these debates man is given in me
Editorial synopsis, leaving the verbatim report
a sheer wate of costly print and paper. I be-
ieve, however, that in the aggregate, the col-1
lections of the last year for Religious purposes
have just about equaled the average of the pro
ceeding two or three years; some Societies hav
ing received less, others more. I thick the public interest in comprehensive Religious and Philanthropic efforts does not diminish. For Popular Kducatiou, there is much doing in this country, but in a disjointed, expensive, inefficient manner. Instead of one all-pervading, straight-forward, State-directed system, there Bre three or four in operation, necessarily conflicting with and damaging each other,
And yet a vast majority desire the Education of
All, and are willing to pay for It. John Ball is
good at paying taxes, wherein he has had large
experience; and if he grumbles a little now and
then at their amount as oppressive, it is only
because he takes pleasure in grumbling, and this seems to afford him a good excuse for it.
He would not be deprived of it if he could: wit
ness the discussion of the Income Tax, which
every body denounces while no one justifies abstractedly; and yet it Is always upheld, and I presume will be. And if the 'question could now be put to a direct vote, even of the taxpayers alone 'Shall or shall not a system
of Common School Education for the Uni
ted Kingdoms be maintained by a National
Tax t' I believe Free Schools would be tri
umphant. Even if such a system were ma
tured, put in operation, and to be sustained by
Voluntary Contributions alone or left to perish
I should not despair of the result.
But there is a lion in the path, in the shape of
the Priesthood of the Established Church, who
insist that the children shall be Indoctrinated in the dogmas of their creed or there shall be no State system of Common Schools; and behind
these stand the Roman Catholic Clergy, who virtually make a similar demand with regard to
the children of Catholics. The unreasonableness, as well as the ruinous effects of these demands, is already palpable on oar side of the Atlantic. If, when our City was meditating
the Croton Water Works the Episcopal and
Catholic Priesthood had each insisted that those works should be consecrated by their own Hierarchy and by none other, or in default of this we should have no water-work at all, the case
would be substantially parallel to this. Or if
there were a hundred children whose parents
were of diverse creeds, in some city, all blind
with cataract, whom it was practicable to cure
altogether, but not separately , and these rival Priesthoode'were respectively to insist They shall be taught our Creed and Catechism, and no other, while the operation is going on, or
there shall be no operation and no cure, that
would not be materially diverse from this.

them mentally above their low condition, fol
lowed by a few years of systematic, energetic,
omnipresent Temperance Agitation. A slow work this, but is there any quicker that will be effective? The Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge would greatly contribute to the Education of the Poor, but that reform has yet to be struggled for. I spent last evening with the friends of
Robert Owen, who celebrated bis 80th birthday by a dinner at tha Cranbourne Hotel. Among
those present were Thornton Hunt, son of Leigh Hnnt, and one of the Editors of 'The Leader;' Gen. Hang, an exile from Germany for Free
dom's sake; Mr. Fleming, Editor of the Chartist
Northern Star;' Mons. D'Arusmont and his
daughter, who is the daughter also of Frances
Wright. Mr. Owen was of course present, and spoke quite at length in reiteration and enforce
ment of the leading ideas wherewith he has so
long endeavored to impress the world respecting
the absolute omnipotence of Circumstances in shaping the Human Character, the impossibili
ty of believing or disbelieving save aa one must,
&.c, &c. Mr. Owen has scarcely looked youn
ger or heartier at any time these ten years; he
did not seem a shade older than when I last be
fore met him, at least three years ego. And
not many young men are more bouyant in spir
it, more sanguine as to the immediate future;
more genial in temper, more unconquerable in
resolution, than he is. I cannot see many things as he does; it seems to me that he is stone blind
on the side of Fai'.h in the Invisible and exag
gerates the truths he perceives until they almost
ecome falsehoods; but l love his sunny, benev
lent nature, I admire his unwearied exertion
for what he deems the good of Humanity; and
believing with the great Apostle to the Gentiles,
that "Now abide Faith, Hope, Charity: these three; but the greatest of these is Charily," I consider him practically a better Christain than half those who, professing to be such, believe
more aud do lesa. 1 trust his life may be long spared, and his sun beam cloudless and rosy to
the last. H. g.

Icarn to milk Early. The art of milking well is not taught in a
hurry. It requires long practice to milk properly, and therefore all the young people on a
farm onglit to be shown how the labor should be dens. It is quite important that this branch of the dairy should be particularly attended to,
for a good milker obtains at least a quarter more
from the same cow than a poor milker.
The first lesson to be taught to young people
is gentleness and kindness to the cows. They
never need be treated harshly, in case the busi
ness is properly commenced. Cows that have
been caressed aad uniformly well treated, are
fond of having the milk drawn from the udder
at the regular time of m ilking, for it ives them
relief from the distention of the milky ducts-
Let young people be put to milking the far
row cows first, or such as are soon to be dried
up, and then the loss from bad milking will be
less injurious. . The hand should extend to the
extremity ot tha teats, for the milk is then
drawn easier. Young people should be taught to milk as fast as possible. More milk is always obtained by a rapid milker, than a slow one. They should
therefore be taught to think of nothing else
while milking, and no conversation must be
permitted in the milk yard. They should sit
up close the cow, and rest the left arm gently
against her shank. Then, if she raises her foot.
as she sometimes will, merely to change posi
tion, she will not be likely to put it Into the
milk pail.
In case of a disposition to kick, or rather to
raise her foot on account of pain occasioned by
soreness of the teats, the nearer the milker tits
to her, and the harJer he presses his left arm against her leg, the less risk will be run of being injured. Cows may be taught to give down their milk at once, and they may be taught to hold.it a long while, and to be stripped indefinitely.
The best way is to milk quick, and not to nse
tha cow to a long stripping, or en after strip' ping. Ploughman.

Sbockins Denth of .tlr. Icniucl Woodwaaf?. j The Norwich (Ct ) Courier gives an account ' of the death Mr. Lemcel Woodward, an old
34 and wealthy citizen of Plainfield, Ct , well 24 known in this city, and brother of Woodi ward, to whom we are so much indebted for his j0 endowment of Woodward College and the 10 school. He was much respected by his neigh-
11 bore, had attained the age of 74. and left an esP. tate valued at the lowest at half a million, a con(j , siderable portion of which lies in this city and
8 neighborhood. The manner of this shocking
death is thus detailed in the Courier.

Iniaanilr From Thwarted IOtc,
A young man named Gregory, who was sent
up on the steamer Buckeye, from the South, to
enter upon a noviciate for the Priesthood, at
Bardstown, gave evident symptoms of derange
ment on the passage up, which caused him to
be put in restraint. Yesterday, as the boat was coming through the canal, he was released, and
very soon after madea violent assault on the
Stewart of the boat, knocking him down and as
sailing others. lie was instantly taken in
hand and confined.
We learn that he had been intended by his father, for the life of celibacy requisite for the
Priesthood, but had become violently enamored of, and attached to a young lady, who returned
plish it. Spiritual wife-dom, which is nothing
!ess than unbridled licentiousness, is a part of their system, although their may be good examples of morality. But fanaticism, humbug, and misfcrtc ne must have its day, and then reap its
bitter reward.

Church, which commenced precisely at 12 o'clock, and continued some minutes. Last night the trustees of the church watched in per-, son iu order to discover the cause of this phenomena, but where unsuccessful; and in their report, this morning, that not the slightest visible power could be discovered whereby tha btll waa moved. The excitement to-day is be-, jond anything 1 have ever Men in regard ta
